Perhaps the most famous figure in street art working today, Banksy is known for urban interventions that demonstrate irreverent wit and a biting political edge. Enhancing his mystique by maintaining an anonymous identity, the artist has modified street signs, illegally printed his own currency, and illicitly hung his own work in the Louvre and the Museum of Modern Art. He often uses spray paint and stencils in his critiques of consumerism, political authority, terrorism, and the status of art and its display. His street art, installations, and studio-produced works have been shown in Los Angeles, New York, London, Bethlehem, and beyond. His art has been subject to widespread interest on the secondary market and has fetched eight figures at auction.

He often uses spray paint and stencils in his critiques of consumerism, political authority, terrorism, and the status of art and its display. Banksy’s well-known use of animal motifs in an anthropomorphic way, the work can both make you laugh and contemplate. Banksy’s work also has a charitable side, as he has raised money for Palestine, Ukraine, and refugees through releases such as the Welcome Mat in collaboration with the charity [_Love Welcomes_](https://fairart.com/editorial/guide/introducing-love-welcomes-x-fair-art/40).

##About Banksy

Rising from the Bristol underground scene, Banksy has gained global recognition, bringing street art and graffiti into public conversation across the world. Banksy’s street art, installations, and studio-produced works have been shown in Los Angeles, New York, London, Bethlehem, and beyond. Still an unknown figure, Banksy continues to elude arrest and share their often political musings and critiques through street art throughout the UK. His art has been subject to widespread interest on the secondary market and has fetched eight figures at auction.

His work moved from the streets to print publishing work with Pictures on Walls (POW), growing Banksy into a commercial artist producing official limited edition prints of his most iconic works. This offered a democratisation of art ownership as Banksy became not just an accessible artist on the street but also to own in your home, growing his popularity by offering work directly to the public.
